    Caching in a foreign country

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    Thanks so much for all the helpfull posts. MickieD is my mom. I will be going to Ramstein with my daughter in March. I only looked at a couple of cache pages that were around Kaisurslautern(sp?) and they weren't in English thus my mom's inquiries after we were discussing it. I bought a German-English dictionary and a tour guide book the other day. I'm lookig forward to everything EXCEPT the cold weather. Growing up in Texas has me very acclimated to hot weather lol

    thanks again for all yall's help!

    when I was caching in Plano Tx, me and ironwoman went for a cache GCHJ8C in a neat wooded walking trail area. I we went off trail to retrieve the cache. before we could find it I stepped over a log and twisted me ankle really bad. I came close to passing out so we hobbled back to the car and back to the hotel. that was Friday evening, on our way back home to abilene we stopped by to search again, and success!

    Spelin And Grammer

    in General geocaching topics

    Grammar is a fairly simple set of rules. Anyone without a learning disability should be able to learn them. A person who does not do so generally indicates one of two things to me:

     

    1) They are incapable of learning them, which is an indicator of intelligence.

     

    2) They don't give a dadgum, which is an indicator of attitude.

     

    Between the two, I am able to judge whether I care about what the person has to say and whether their comments are likely to have any importance. But then again, I'm arrogant and pretentious. :rolleyes:

    I guess I'm not intelligent because all throughout school I never did understand all those rules. Try as I might I couldn't remember the parts of a sentence or the way it should be structured etc.. I think I do well enough to get the point across though. 6 years after high school and it still doesn't click. Look what I found doing a google search....grammar book

    Need Some Help

    in How do I...?

    I started out with a cheap little magellin and got fed up with inputing every waypoint in mannually that I eventually bought a Legend. I not only use it when caching. I use it when I am traveling out of town so i do get lost. And while I'm in a new town9out of state mostly) I will upload maps for the new area to the GPS and have the ability to navigate even the smallest streets.

    I kind of like "The Pirates of Ocracoke." Though okra and coke doesn't sound like a very appetizing combination.

    I've had Okra. It's... gross.

    Okra is the basis of some really awesome gumbo recipes.

    Not to mention stewed okra and tomatos....MMMMmmmm..... eat it every chance I get...mostly when we go to Golden Corral. :wub:

    Plucker Vs Cachemate

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    The chief problem I found with cachemate is the time it takes to change the current location so I could see the nearest caches. That's probably a factor of the size of files I was working with, but its ability to handle bigger files is why I moved from plucker in the first place.

     

    Then my palm died and I replaced it with a pocket pc. Now I have some of the benefits of both programs with gpxsonar.

    usually if I want to see which cache is closest I just set my GPS to view the nearest cache.

     

    And I have only used CacheMate for my Zire72. It takes me a while to get from dowmloading the GPX file into GSAK and then into the PDA but that is only because I haven't forked over the money to register GSAK. :lol:

    Need Help In Texas

    in South and Southeast

    Posted

    All,

    A local geocaching family has recently suffered the loss of their house to a fire. I asked what they needed or if there is anything we can do. With typical West Texas pride, I didn't get much of an answer but I know that they could use some, any, help from our group. So far, Alpha said that they would like to know if anyone in GAGA has a metal detector that they could borrow to try and recover some of the tools from the residence. Also, in the near future, they will

    probably be in need of some living room furniture. I personally can't

    imagine... especially at this time of year.

     

    If anyone can, or would like to help out, please let me know. If you have a

    metal detector, some extra furniture, or can think of anything else to help transition into their new home please do not heistate to contact me.

     

    On behalf of the family, I thank you all in advance!
